Micron Technology’s tokenized stock arrives on Solana following the success of SPCX
According to the official announcement, Micron shares are now available in tokenized form. The announcement comes two days before the chipmaker’s fiscal third-quarter report. The company is expected to unveil the report on June 24.
The tokenized MU shares is backed by a 1:1 ratio of actual Micron shares, which will be held in regulated custody. Users can withdraw the MU token for the underlying shares via the Backpack exchange. They can also transfer them to traditional investment accounts, allowing them to own stocks directly instead of just focusing on tracking synthetic prices. These tokenized shares of Micron Technology allow users to store wallets such as Backpack, Phantom, and Solflare. Users can also trade these tokens at any time on Solana’s decentralized exchanges.
The issuance of MU tokenized shares comes a week after Backpack Securities and Sunrise used the same model for SpaceX’s tokenized shares, SPCX, which went live on the Solana blockchain on the same day as its arrival on Nasdaq.
The timing of the arrival of the tokenized version of MU shares on Solana is also important, as Micron will release its earnings report on June 24. Although trading on Nasdaq has limitations such as fixed timing, tokenized stocks will allow users to trade these digital tokens at any time of the day.
Tokenized stock market rises after clear regulations around risk-weighted assets
The launch of MU tokenized shares is part of the latest trend to bring US equities on-chain, with Backpack Securities providing the regulated broker infrastructure, while Sunrise helps companies convert shares into a tokenized version and liquidity distribution. The asset is integrated with Solana DeFi, which allows users to trade against USDC or SOL through liquidity pools on platforms such as Meteora.
Following the launch of SpaceX’s SPCX stock on the Solana blockchain, there has been strong demand as trading volumes have exceeded $100 million in a single day. The success of SPCX has helped push the total 24-hour spot trading volume for all tokenized stocks on Solana to record highs, between $187 million and $213 million.
Amid growing regulatory clarity surrounding tokenized equities and the adoption of tokenized assets among institutional investors, the distributed value of tokenized equities has risen above $1.53 billion, according to rwa.xyz. The total real asset sector has also risen above $32 billion. Solana has an impressive position with approximately $3 billion in RWA value and is a leader in tokenized stock trading volume.
According to Citi GroupThe market for tokenized assets is expected to reach $8 trillion by 2030.
Micron Technology shares are surging amid AI infrastructure growth and strong revenue growth
Micron Technology is a leading global semiconductor company providing memory and storage solutions including DRAM, NAND and NOR chips. These components are important for computers, smartphones, data centers and artificial intelligence. The company is the largest supplier of memory chips in the world, next to Samsung and SK Hynix.
In its second-quarter 2026 budget report, Micron reported revenue of $23.86 billion, with GAAP net income of $13.9 billion and earnings per share of $12.07. This was the record turnover in the company’s history, thanks to the boom in the AI sector. The company’s inventory of high-bandwidth memory (HBM) for the entire year 2026 has already sold out. Micron’s management team has reported strong demand for HBM as it can only fill 50% to two-thirds of memory orders for its key customers.
On June 22, Micron unveiled a major partnership with Anthropic, creator of the Claude AI model. This partnership includes collaboration on AI memory and storage architecture, a multi-year supply agreement, enterprise adoption of Claude at Micron and others.
With growing demand for Micron’s infrastructure in the AI sector, TD Cowen has raised its 12-month target for MU stock from $660 to $1,500.
